  • Punctuation and apostrophe mistakes

What Dainty leaves alone

  • Character voice

  • Deliberate fragments
  • Stylized roughness that belongs to the scene

Tool choice

Why not upload the whole book at once?

Chapter sections are easier to review honestly. Dainty keeps the pass close to the scene so you can inspect each correction before it returns to the draft.

Questions writers ask before trying Dainty

What does Dainty actually change?

Dainty fixes typos, punctuation, grammar, dialogue punctuation, and broken sentence boundaries. Focused goes deeper on local proofreading fixes, and Rigorous adds review notes for unclear references and small continuity slips.

What does Dainty leave alone?

It is designed to preserve sentence rhythm, pacing, fragments, dialogue quirks, and other deliberate fiction choices unless there is a genuine error to fix.

Do I need an account before I can proofread?
